Teabomb time!! All right now, I'd like to share with you guys my experience of using cucumber as my facial toner. Before that, I believe we all know the benefits of cucumbers for healthy skin. Other than beautifying our skin, it has a lot of other benefits like, it keeps our body hydrated, fight cancers cos it contain lariciresinol, pinoresinol & secoisolariciresinol, cucumbers also can cure diabetes, reduce cholesterol, controls blood pressure & etc.
Okay, I remember it was last year, I use a wrong product on my face. A huge mistake. My facial skin is really sensitive so if I put on the wrong product then boom! Here comes those cute tiny disgusting eww eww annoying pimples.
It was a disaster for me because a few weeks later, I have performance with my classmate. I want to hide it with makeup but I didnt. I believe the makeup would do no help but make things worse. So, I did some research on the internet, trying to figure out how to reduce those pimples & I end up doing homemade cucumber toner. I use it for a week & here's the results...
The cucumber toner is really helpful. It also made my skin glow. I use it for weeks & my skin looked much better than the day before. Luckily my face was okay before the day of our performance. Phew..
Anyway, it's really easy to make this cucumber toner. You dont need much, just cucumbers & food processor.
- Slice the cucumber.
- Put into the food processor & add a lil bit of water.
- Pour the cucumber juice into a container.
- You could apply it straight away with cotton wool but I prefer to put it inside the refrigerator for 15 minutes then I'll apply it.
- After you apply it, put inside the refrigerator.
The homemade cucumber toner can last for a week.
Warning!
- Wash the cucumber real clean before you slice & process it to get rid of the dirts. Or to be more safe, you can peel the skin. But I prefer it with skin. Peel or not, it's up to you.
- Make sure you are not allergic to cucumber!
